Holcopogonidae is a family
of moth
s. They belong to the huge the superfamily
Gelechioidea
, of which they represent a minor but apparently quite distinct lineage.
They sometimes include the subfamily Autostichinae
from the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae). In this case, the combined group's name is the senior synonym Autostichidae, and the present group becomes its subfamily Holcopogoninae.
